Thank you Paul,
alt-T opens the Tools menu just fine, so I will likely try it without
a fixed Top Toolbar for a while as that might give me more typing

For what its worth, I note that my default.ui is all by itself in

default.ui is also in my /usr/share/lyx/ui/default.ui), along with
stdtoolbars.inc, stdmenus.inc and stdcontext.inc, but lyx no longer
points there for some reason.
Not sure why my lyx is accessing root>user>share>lyx>ui but am happy
that I can now access the tools.

Could you have installed LyX as root rather than as you?
I suspect the reason your menus are AWOL is that the .ui file being used
is trying to load stdmenus.inc from the root > ... directory and not
finding it. If true, that means you will also presumably be lacking the
toolbars.
If you change the UI selection to /usr/share/lyx/ui/default.ui, save and
restart LyX, does it start with the menu visible?
